Control of genome regulation and its role in human disease [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Joseph Powell (Principal investigator)

Brief description Changes in DNA can lead to differences in susceptibility to developing many diseases. The most common mechanism by which this occurs is through changing when and in which tissues disease-relevant genes get translated into proteins. My research focuses on understanding how DNA changes result in altered gene expression and how this can affect disease susceptibility. This work requires the use of high performance computing and statistical analysis of large genome-scale datasets.
